seigniorage and Political instability
The American Economic Review, 1992Co-Authors: Alex Cukierman, Sebastian Edwards, Guido TabelliniAbstract:The importance of seigniorage relative to other sources of government revenue differs markedly across countries. This paper tries to explain this regularity by studying a Political Model of tax reform. The Model implies that countries with a more unstable and polarized Political system will have more inefficient tax structures and, thus, will rely more heavily on seigniorage. This prediction of the Model is tested on cross-sectional data for seventy countries. The authors find that, after controlling for other variables, Political instability is positively associated with seigniorage. Copyright 1992 by American Economic Association.

Political Model of social evolution
Social Science Research Network, 2011Co-Authors: Daron Acemoglu, Georgy Egorov, Konstantin SoninAbstract:Almost all democratic societies evolved socially and Politically out of authoritarian and nondemocratic regimes. These changes not only altered the allocation of economic resources in society but also the structure of Political power. In this paper, we develop a framework for studying the dynamics of Political and social change. The society consists of agents that care about current and future social arrangements and economic allocations; allocation of Political power determines who has the capacity to implement changes in economic allocations and future allocations of power. The set of available social rules and allocations at any point in time is stochastic. We show that Political and social change may happen without any stochastic shocks or as a result of a shock destabilizing an otherwise stable social arrangement. Crucially, the process of social change is contingent (and history-dependent): the timing and sequence of stochastic events determine the long-run equilibrium social arrangements. For example, the extent of democratization may depend on how early uncertainty about the set of feasible reforms in the future is resolved.
